Welcome to Chapter 9 Orb of Solomon. Just a simple chapter to get you guys ready for the big battles to come.

(At the outskirts of Mine Town Gado.)

The group has arrived at Mine Town Gado. The mission they've been given inspect the sealed spirit and make sure the seal is acting properly. The group gathers for the final mission specs from Kamito.

"Alright everyone we'll go in teams." The first team will be me Ellis and Muir. Our goal will be to find Jio and his potential crew and engage them." The second team will be Lily Claire Rubia Fianna and Rinslet.

Fianna is curious at her master's odd choice of teams. "Master Kamito you're hiding something. The truth is this mission should only require you and me and at best Rubia. However you've brought this group along the question is why. Plus these teams are odd. That Ellis girl was no match for Jio and you brought her along with Muir. Plus you're keeping too many girls to protect me. What's going on?"

Kamito with a shrug decides it's time to explain things. "Very well here's the deal. Greyworth likely sent Ellis and her crew because she knows that we've become a team and wants to ensure both groups progress in the blade dance. As for the choice of teams, the main focus is to get you to the shrine and protecting you girls."

Muir interjects. "Nii-sama that's not all is there. Jio Izanagi was a minor annoyance at best. No matter what his growth has been. Fianna alone is strong enough to beat him."

Ellis confused, "You're hiding something else because that man was extremely powerful.

Kamito shrugs, "That's because he's likely used the Orb of Solomon to power himself up."

Kamito's old team is shocked while Ellis' group is confused.'

Ellis asks again. "Kamito what is the orb of Solomon?"

Muir explains, "The orb of Solomon is a mystic orb of power that is said to exist in any descendant of Solomon. It's not explained to you guys because the world hides its dark truth. The orb if used on a person can give that person great power. In fact Nii-sama used the orb on me to allow me to use the tamers gauntlet. I'm not actually a true elementalist nor is Jio."

Claire angry interjects, "So wait that means Jio got his power from another descendant of Solomon."

Kamito nods, "That's right and there's only one person who that could be and if that's true this is a huge problem. The person is Solomon himself."

Everyone is shocked including Kamito's group.

Rinslet stutters but says, "That's impossible the Sacred Maiden killed Solomon."

"No she didn't" a mysterious voice interjects.

Rubia says, "Wait Est what are you saying."

All of the sudden Rubia's sword glows and out pops Terminus Est who's wearing an academy uniform and her silver hair and blue eyes shine.

Kamito interjects, "Ms Sacred sword allow me to continue. The truth is Solomon was actually sealed in his palace. The sacred maiden couldn't kill him so he sealed him away. Fortunately the seal held for a long time until Solomon was released."

Muir asks with worry, "So Nii-sama who is currently working with Solomon. You know who it is but you couldn't tell Greyworth."

Kamito continues, "My guess is it's somebody in the Alphas Theocracy. I couldn't say anything because Alphas is currently an ally and I don't need Greyworth to know until I can confirm it at the blade dance. My guess is somebody within Alphas is gathering spirits to prepare for Jio and the one sealed here is first. I hid all this from Greyworth because I'm not positive and an accusation like that is dangerous. As for Jio's power I hid that from my team because Muir and Lily have always felt guilty for abandoning the school. Learning they're being used just like they were in the school makes it worse. The mission begins in a little bit but before we do let's get some lunch. I'll join you girls in a second but I want to go scan the area a bit myself. "

As Kamito leaves for a bit the gang sits down and eats. The girls chat around and enjoy each other's company. As the girls are eating Fianna stops for a second. "Wait girls, everyone used the spring this morning right."

Muir who thinks back, "Yea Nii-sama used the spring so… Oh no Nii-sama." Muir realizes something important.

Claire curious at her shock, "What's wrong?"

Fianna interjects, "Kamito went down to the mine on his own. He realizes the danger to the group. Let's get going."

Everyone finishes their meals quickly and runs to find Kamito.

Kamito, who has made his way into the town, senses the girls have discovered his ruse.

'Damn they finally figured it out.'

"Naughty Kamito you should've known not to trick the team like that."

"I guess so well I guess I better communicate something to the girls." He stops moving for a second to send a mental communication to Fianna.

"Yo Fianna can you hear me."

"Master are you alright? Why did you leave us for a bit?"

"I'm fine there's a second part of the mission and its only for our team. I want the spirit myself so seal it but leave a small hole that I can manipulate so I can capture it myself got it."

"Yes Master I'll inform the others but you have to wait where you are."

"Fine then I'll wait."

Fianna communicates the mental order to Muir and Lily and everyone gathers where Kamito is.

As the group gathers together, all of the sudden, Kamito is slapped by Ellis.

Ellis who's screaming at Kamito "What were you thinking? Don't underestimate me as a knight. I knew he was dangerous and I was glad you brought me along to get revenge. Don't underestimate my powers as a knight."

Kamito who's smiling, "Fine fine Ellis I won't underestimate you anymore." Now with a more serious tone he pulls up a map of the mine, "The sacred shrine is roughly in this area." Kamito points to a spot on the map. "Rubia make sure that you are careful. Jio's benefactor is there along with about 20 former assassins. Be warned although the assassins are weak by instructional school standards they're still quite strong. The final person is truly powerful so Rubia alone should engage her. Everyone get going."

As everyone acknowledges Kamito's command and separates the group makes their way towards the mines.

(With Kamito Muir and Ellis)

Kamito and group have made their way towards the north half of the mine. Although far away from the shrine the fact that Jio wishes to fight Kamito means he'll follow the group. Kamito makes his way into the clearing he's greeted by a silhouette.

With a deadpan, "Hello there Jio I take it you took a faster route to find me."

Jio responds with a sneer, "Yes Lord Kamito it's been a long time. So let's begin this little fight. Don't worry I'm not enough of a coward to attack your little girlfriends." Jio gets into a battle stance and prepares to fight.

Kamito whose gets into his own stance, "Very well Jio lets begin. Muir Ellis stay out of it."

(With the rest of the crew)

The rest of the crew is led by Est towards the shrine. As they walk Rubia explains that Est is the sacred sword who once served the Sacred maiden hence her knowledge about what happened. The group is disturbed but move on. The group gets extremely close to the shrine, and is met by a group of hooded figures.

Claire comments, "So these are the assassins huh?"

Lily deadpans, "Yes but they aren't too much of a challenge. Unfortunately there's a lot of them. Ladies get ready this is gonna be brutal. Rubia you and Fianna go ahead. I have a feeling their leader is waiting for you."

Rubia and Fianna go ahead and leave the group behind. After confirming the girls have gotten away Lily Rinslet and Claire get into a battle stance.

(With Rubia and Fianna)

Fianna with a cheerful voice, "So Rubia-sama how are you?"

Rubia with a stern look, "Fianna now's not the time for pleasantries. We need to get ready."

Fianna who pouts, "Fine well at least we won't have to wait long."

A mysterious figure appears before the girls, "So the sacred maiden and the 2nd princess what a group."

Fianna and Rubia get into their battle stance and the mysterious figure takes off her hood.

"So Sorja Khan the Demon Caster. Seems master Kamito was right." Rubia says with annoyance.

"That's right ladies but this won't be as easy as you think." Sorja gets into a battle stance.

That's it for chapter 9. The next chapter will be Kamito's battle with Jio among other things so get ready.

(AN) The next chapter will end the Jio Izanagi arc and afterwards we come to volume 3 but amusingly enough i offer you guys a twist. I was either going to do Velsaria's arc next or an arc involving Volume 13 which as many of the readers know involves Judia Rinslet's baby sister. I'm going to let you guys decide what arc is next and you'll have until next Monday when i release the next chapter. So in the review section i want you to vote. (I dont like polls because this is much easier plus i find the lack of reviews disappointing from you guys.) So until Monday vote Judia for volume 13 arc or Velsaria for volume 3. Keep in mind regardless of which one wins the loser will be the final arc before the blade dance.

Kamito's black arts-

Thunder Force- This power drops a massive bolt of electricity at his opponents. Kamito first senses the targets with his magic and locks on to them. Finally he sends a burst of magic towards the sky which drops the bolts on his opponents giving them a massive shock.

Lust storm- It puts the victim in a massive state of arousal. Only usable by touch of the person and the amount of lust that's released depends on where the person is touched. The more sensitive the area the more powerful the attack.

Aura Shield- It's an energy shield that protects Kamito from all attacks.

Sword of Subjugation- Sword of power that when it slashes any creature it forces the creature to serve the wielder.
